Posts Tagged ‘Kamala Harris’

At this time in history, with Kamala Harris poised to get the Democratic nomination for president of the United States to become the first woman of color at the top of the presidential ticket, no topic could be more timely and more pertinent than Woolf and Politics. And that is exactly what Literature Cambridge is offering for its Virginia Woolf Season 2024-25, which runs Sept. 14 through June 14, 2025.

The upcoming season of lectures and seminars on the major works of Virginia Woolf includes 10 sessions, each with a live online lecture and seminar via Zoom. They cover five of her novels and both of her polemics. All sessions are offered from 6-8 p.m. British time.

Each lecture will be recorded live and will be available to participants after the live event for up to 48 hours. The recordings are available only to people who have booked the session. The seminars are not recorded.
